Black in South Korea

[@LethalLemonLime]

My closest friends in Korea were all black. This wasn't intentional at all, but I found it easier to make friends with black people.

[@v0calbeatzlaughs]

Tbfh! And it's not just Koreans!!! Everybody wants to be black but don't wanna be black 😒😒😒 can't have it both ways, sorry not sorry 😌

[@cocojohnsonn]

preach!

[@gothqueen900]

Lol yes

[@unicornpuppy715]

No just no Not everyone want to be black

[@Deandrax]

True lmao

[@Deandrax]

+Unicorn Puppy salty indeed but hey you don't have to agree but you also can keep moving if ya don't lol

[@ekowhaywood]

the black person nod . always feels good when i give and receive the nod.

[@s.israel]

If i dont get the nod, i get pissed lol.

[@henryagassi203]

LOL I moved here from Africa in 2010 and automatically adopt the nod unconsciously.

[@wowzerssmith5027]

OMG! THIS is the REALNESS I've been seeking! Two sistas who don't idolize Korea and K-pop! FINALLY! I need this in my life before I go overseas. INSTANT sub! Thank yall!

[@teegraciela]

+Wowzers Smith thanks for the support!

[@Farrrdoos]

if I was in a place where I was the minority and I haplen to see a person of colour I would friggin run to that person and say hi

[@eagleeyegordon9368]

...if yall don't stop with all this fabulous hair lol

[@chimka8414]

Eagle Eye Gordon ur hair is fabulous too!!!

[@cleopatrahoze]

YA'LL HAIR IS POPPIN SLAY ME YES ok I love ur videos big fan, tryna move to Korea in the future, this is really helpful hearing things from a black persons perspective

[@teegraciela]

+Baeked Potato glad we could help!

[@cateyes2103]

If a Korean takes a pic of me, I'm gonna take out my phone and record them while saying "Hanguk salam! Waw..(Korean person! Wow)" . I can be in amazement, too lol. As a side note, the only people to ever touch my hair w/o asking have been black people. Idk what it is, but they act like they've never seen natural hair before. And when it's straight, they're the first ones to try to touch it to make sure it's real.

[@teegraciela]

+Kpop Tart black people in Korea touched your hair? I'm shocked by this.

[@dreammothstudios9267]

To be fair, when I first lived in Japan I would stare in amazement whenever I found another black person.

[@LadyCharity]

Lol @ the rawness and realness....yaaaass finally! I'm here for it 😁

[@taylorsimmons255]

"but girl.... you're not a celebrity...." i screamed

[@teegraciela]

+Taylor Simmons I'm saying doe. I don't want to hurt her feelings buuuuut...

Got to do the black nod...

[@teegraciela]

Always!

[@nessablue9233]

I love the different perspectives that is being represented in this video. It's refreshing and so honest.

[@teegraciela]

+Nessa Blue thanks girl! i love that we have different views but can still relate to each other.

[@BriBeMe315]

Omg I am so loving the realness! Love it!

[@Renmen_ren]

I love how proud you guys are of your race!!!

[@teegraciela]

+Melanated Queen always✊🏾 melanin on fleeeeeeek!

[@Mrthouroug]

+Melanated Queen Why would they be in a Korea, a country that covets whiteness if they really had any black pride.

[@teegraciela]

+Thouroug this is your second comment. You are quite dedicated to proving I'm anti-black. Yeah Okayyy. I'm black no matter what the longitude or latitude of my residence.

[@IphiaCarlene]

Omg. ..all this amazing hair!!

[@faefae8993]

i always say hi to black people it like our unspoken code.

[@MelodyAlisa]

I love the realness haha! I can totally relate to the crazy comments form other foreigners - not just Koreans!

[@teegraciela]

+Melody Williams hahha yes girl totally! Foreigners can be soooooo damn weird.

[@ddbob1]

Lol omg I love this video especially the girl with the braids...you give me life and y'all are both so pretty.

[@msveeip]

Yall are so damn funny!!! I seriously considered going overseas to teach, but 😒 Thank you!

[@ariannam.9360]

I appreciate this video so much. Some other black KZbinrs as you've stated already, refuse to say anything negative and realistic about South Korea. I seriously am considering visiting there and it is not helpful when people are not honest about what I may potentially experience. And to answer your question: yes it is important for my to have Black friends. I live in Seattle, WA, and there is a very small minority of Black ppl here even smaller than other US cities. I go out of my way to meet and interact with Black people and I've even created a meetup group. When I was younger I would argue that it didnt matter friends are friends, people are people. But as I've matured I've realized it does matter and I want friends who have experiences similar things to me in life and are able to understand things I've had to overcome from first-hand experience. Not just people who fake pity, empathy or tell me it's not a big deal when they have never actually experience it for themselves. Anyways, thanks for sharing and being honest!

[@teegraciela]

+Arianna-Gabriele Marin thanks girl! I try not to judge KZbinrs who love Korea and only speak positively. But it's no coincidence that loving Korea and being 100% positive is more beneficial for your channels success- ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . I did the same thing when I was younger- until I reached young adulthood and realized most of my friends had new clue where I come from or the struggles I deal with. There's a whole plethora of Black/Latina girls who have my interests and my racial/cultural background. So it makes things easier- though that isn't a requirement of friendship. Having a mixed bag of friends from diff walks of like is always best

[@talljib]

i am in taiwan and the same shit happens. but i will say that it isn't exclusive to the black community. i have had this type of conversation with people from other races and backgrounds and they have had similar experiences. some ppl just don't want to fuck with their own. whether it be expats, whites, blacks etc. Some ppl go out of their way to avoid having to mix and mingle. And they have their reasons lol

[@tbrown6518]

It is and would be awesome to hang out with you gurls Im in Daejeon and apart of the EPIK program.

[@Anoldaccount988]

"I will bite ya fingers off" 😭😂

[@avawilliams5827]

"If you don't care about blackness I can't have a friendship with you" SAME OMG

[@teegraciela]

+Ava Williams giiiiiirl you feel me

[@lyne3783]

Ava Williams why not? it's that rude?

[@joh8240uu]

Did you girls struggled to find soap without whitening effect? I live in Thailand and it's quite hard to find a normal soap who will just clean my body. Not lightning my skin. To the point that my mom has to send me soaps from Belgium like every two months...

[@teegraciela]

+เจ้าชายโจ Jojo I use regular dove but lightening soap exists.

[@Lordpraisethe]

I love how you're so conscious!!!

[@pullume]

Okay, so I have 'just' moved to Korea, just outside of Seoul (Goyang-si) and would love to join the 'diverseness' gatherings! Please lets get in touch.

[@teegraciela]

+Hannah John WELCOME! If you're not already a member join BSSK, I know they do different events in/around Seoul!

[@lydiaalemu5608]

You both are stunning.

[@teegraciela]

+Lydia Alemu ☺️... Aww shucks! You're going to make us blush! Thank you!!!

[@jungk0081]

Good to hear how Korea appreciate for your natural beauty..you two look very beautiful 3>

[@CarefreeMaya]

Giiiirl I'm glad there's a video that doesn't glaze over how real the struggle is. I'm in korea for three more weeks and I think because of the KZbin videos trying to protect a lot of ignorance, korea has been over hyped for me. I didn't feel like a celeb and the staring some days just makes me want to ugh. And yea black people here don't talk to me. 😑. Any black people in Korea, please talk to me!!!!!!!!!!

[@teegraciela]

+Yes Honey Yes Hahaha Yes Yes Yes! Anti- Korea videos don't do well on YT. So some people chose subscribers over truth. Also I think some people LITERALLY sip the Korean kool-aid too hard and are willing to tolerate abuses because they want to be here so badly. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But that's none of my business 🐸☕️

[@Theatrechik51]

LIFE! Hope to move to Daegu in a couple of months, but don't know where I'll be officially. Hope there're easily accessible social groups wherever I land.

[@teegraciela]

+Clarissa Raybon Facebook groups are invaluable resources

[@arisu23c]

I agree 100% about the staring! OMG. And its not like Koreans most Koreans dont know its not rude and to think that I have to be a walking museum is irritating. I use to be really shy but now I just stare back until they get it. lol That photo things is soooo disrespectful! If it were a korean doing that to another korean all hell would break lose, but because we are foreigners... The xenophobia is really surprising as far as who it comes from in my experience. I am not going to get into that here. I appreciate that you guys put it out there that it exist because some others are in complete denial. lol Probably those celebrity chicks.

[@unicornpuppy715]

You realize it's a different country right? That's means different ways of life

[@arisu23c]

A different way of life encompasses staring at others even though its considered rude by this culture as well? Is xenophobia okay by your standards? Did something about my comment offend you personally? Do you live in Korea as well?

[@cgibson8639]

I think I'm in love with this channel 😂

[@enkayar]

This video made me laugh out loud! Made me a subscriber

[@JourneyWithAjah]

I feel like I have to defend people (myself) who have used the phrase "it feels like being a celebrity". It's not like I feel good because I'm stared at, it's just that I am going to be stared at, so how can I think positively about it?

[@teegraciela]

+AjahKpop I think there's a difference between not allowing yourself to be bothered and presenting something in a positive light. SO that's where the issue rises for me. By saying you fee like a celebrity it puts a positive spin on an inappropriate act- IMHO. I totally respect folks who don't get bent out of shape over it but when we change the wording it makes Koreans seem without fault- again- in my humble opinion.

[@souvenirdetokyo]

love your makeup girls !!!

[@teegraciela]

+melissa mathieu oh shucks! THANK YOU.

[@drmayesmt]

Was that braid difficult? Did you blow your hair out first? It's pretty. I working on my braiding skills. When I was living in Hawaii, everyone seemed to think that all black girls know how to cornrow or braid. I didn't know that, and I didn't get that gene. 😉

[@Deandrax]

I feel this video lol and y'all hair is so pretty!

[@justnice0409]

It amazes me that ppl think ppl history is only Feb. that ish isn't for us? We black ALL the time. But...I love y'all! I'm about to go to China and a chick said be prepared to get touched. I'm playing on doing "black history" lessons while there. LOL. Keep the videos coming!

[@teegraciela]

+justnice0409 black history lessons done in attainable ways would really bridge a huge gap missing in Asia... And by gap I mean lack of caring.

[@cheaka785]

I love seeing you two together! Can you guys do another video together??

[@teegraciela]

+cheaka785 we have a couple others but Candice is back in America so we'll have to wait to be reunited.

[@g3MZ1ZA11G00D]

wow, taking pictures and staring. see you guys are really nice. Cuz if that were me and I caught them doing that. i would've given them the finger so fast and made sure to cover my face at the same time. I'm from NYC and really they'd feel very afraid, and ashamed at the same time, but that's just personally me.

[@MsDB923]

I like you guys!

[@mckenziejohnson5175]

to be for real I'm black, but i do not want to be, because people criticise blacks so much that it scares me to think one day i may come face to face with a racist, or not get a job because they think I'm dumb or loud and mean, I was not raised that way, I don't even live in the hood, or ghetto

Im so happy you know who Deray is!

[@izzythomas8675]

You're hair is so nice

[@Momthe_simmer]

I'm currently in hyewha right now and it seems like I blend into the backgroud. no stares no pictures. I guess that's a good thing lol

[@teegraciela]

+Kiera Wilkins haha yeah. You're lucky!

[@AyaneSensei]

As a black female who grew up in a white suburban neighborhood (you know, the ones where you are lucky if there is 1 other black person in your class so you feel less awkward in Feb). I never really seek out black friends; generally speaking; what is more important is to find friends with similar interests and values; friends of good quality. Don't really care what your race is; if I like you, I like you. I know when I do have black friends; they have west Indian ancestry like myself...(I feel we relate better than African Americans) and also like anime/kpop/jpop/gaming etc. Just my 2 cents~~

[@teegraciela]

+AyaneSensei maybe it's your lack of black connections growing up that makes that unimportant. I lived in predom AA/Latino neighborhoods and went to school as the token black girl. But I always had both growing up. There's no comparison between the two scenarios for me- I love being amongst people who understand me and my life in America. I have friends of all colors, races and ethnicities and obviously having things in common is the key to any genuine friendship. BUT there's a connection with black people (specifically black women) that I haven't felt from others. Others can sympathize with my feelings but can't empathize. It's a huge difference to me.

[@ThatBlackPiano]

I agree 100%!!!

[@mimimichi8729]

I agree so much. I go to a school the is predomantly black and I have like 2 black friends. I dont feel the need to seek out friends of the same race and it actually makes me sad that other people do. Also it's really hard to find black friends who like anime/kpop/kdramas as much as I do. Even though others see race I chose not to when it comes to picking friends.

[@dominoeharlee4454]

OMG! I loved this #subbed

[@teegraciela]

+Dominoe Harlee honestly I suggest everyone visit Asia. It's definitely something to be experienced. Vietnam was AMAZING! But its not very traditional East Asian so that adds to it.

[@TeeRql]

Yeah I never understood the "celebrity" feeling. Lol. I get what they mean but it's not what they think. Shit, I be feeling awkward in a majority "white" area and i live in NYC. Lol,. I love your hair by the way!

[@teegraciela]

+Tashur Raquel I am still boggled by this everyday.

[@mimimichi8729]

+SomewhereAlways Tee I agree with what you said about how stupid it is that they say that. But if you know it's not gonna stop and people are gonna continue taking pics then I understand the feeling of Give Them Something To Look At Then. 😛 I guess just look good if you know you are gonna be involved in random photoshoots while walking around.

[@Lupinsong89]

I'm planning on traveling there soon I really like ya vids

[@chrissystewart6268]

Do you like South Korea , do you like Korean food & desserts, & what South Korea is like?

[@VanishaRD]

I don't live in Korea, but I do live in southern Oregon where there are lots of white people lol. Whenever I see a black person, I'm always eager to interact with them lol. I lived in Atlanta prior to coming here, so I'm sure you can imagine how big that culture shock was. I recently saw two black women walking together and they both had locs like me! I have never seen that here, and I've been here for two years. I wanted to scream with joy haha

[@dandraantwineLive]

how did you guys manage to take care of your hair in south korea... from tracks to simple hair care products

So, I just moved to Seoul at the beginning of this month (September 2016) and thank you for talking about BSSK because I have been missing my blackgirlmagic crew (I'm from Atlanta btw) and I hope this is a way I can start to build my friend circle. Also, I want reaffirm your opinion on blackness, it is important and those who don't think it is don't have a place in my life either.

[@miqu8124]

There is soo many videos about being black/white/whatever in Korea (or Asia in general) which I get, but not in a singel one of all these videos peopel reflect over the opposite, how do the west treat/deal with asians, bcs thats the other sign of the coin.

[@teegraciela]

+Mi Qu Asians have integrated themselves pretty well into American society though. So Asian in America vs Black in Korea aren't the same topic at all. HOWEVER, don't talk about it, be about it. If you want a video with an Asian in the west perspective- make one. I'm not Asian. I can't speak for them. Start a discussion about your experience instead of trying to control what others discuss. And if you actually watched the video (versus just leaving a comment) THANK YOU.

[@teegraciela]

+EIsForElle my thoughts exaaaaactly.

[@Kittypride156]

Hmmm, so when I lived in Korea I only had one other black girl. I don't necessarily think that I would need black friends. I just need friends that have things in common with me. I couldn't see myself actively seeking out other black people. Even now, I'm in Taiwan and I don't have any black friends here. (To be fair there are bases and things so I rarely every see black people. They are definitely not in my little countryside town) Anyway, I agreed with soooooo much in this video. This isn't just Korea, it is Asia lol.

[@teegraciela]

+Travelin'Asia that's interesting. You don't find solace in friends who can relate to your experience as a black woman? I've heard that said before. I can't imagine my friends (abroad and at home) without at least one person I can connect with on that level.

[@Kittypride156]

+SomewhereAlways Tee Hmmm... not saying I wouldn't form a bond. However, I just feel it is easier for me to find people that I have things in common with. Even if they are black too, it won't mean that I will have anything in common with them. So actively seeking, no. Feeling lucky if I find one, of course!

...so clothing made in a sweatshop by the Chinese is "blackness". Here I thought that traditional Akwete and Asa Oke fabrics used in making burnous and Kangas was traditional African culture and fashion. But I guess the clothes made by exploited and exhausted Chinese workers is more important to you - even more so than the terrible conditions the workers face to make those clothes *for everyone*.

[@khlavkalash1343]

I don't understand why are you talking always about "blackness". Maybe this is important in USA, in Spain we don't have a word to express the way a black person lives. Actually, we say black but we don't think in anything bad at all.

[@teegraciela]

+Cale Cale I don't understand why you keep watching videos about topics you dislike. ALSO, colonialism happened everywhere- Spain was included in this. It's VERY important. Though White Europeans (And Americans) tell us otherwise. Moreover, "negritud" is absolutely a word in Spanish that carries the same sentiments as in English. Try again.

[@AzureKite191]

Black is just a skin color, it's not a heritage, I'm Brazilian and my skin, and complexion are black, but my heritage is Brazilian/Latino, being black has nothing to do with who i am or my heritage.

[@teegraciela]

+azure kite you're black, in a country that idolizes lighter skin and you think your skin color doesn't affect who you are? Yeah okay.

[@unicornpuppy715]

I just don't get it why go to a foreign country and its not a lot of black people?if you wanted to be in a country with black people then why don't you go to uk or stay in America? And wouldn't this video give foreigners bad Im just asking not trying to be rude I'm black myself and a lot of blacks say I'm a Oreo so I don't have a connection of blackness sadly

[@teegraciela]

+Unicorn Puppy "I don't have a connection to blackness" that's a really dumb statement. I'm called an Oreo. But I'm aware I'm black, I learn about my history and I stay in tune with problems my people face. being "connected" is a personal choice. Also, listening comprehension is like soooooooo important but you seemed to have missed it. 1) black people are everywhere 2) there ARE black people in Korea 3) I never said I needed ONLY black people. Koreans go to America- they find other Koreans. That's cool. No one tells them to leave and go back to Korea because they want Koreans. You seem to suffer from brainwashing. We all do at one point or another but I hope you unplug from the matrix and realize there isn't such a thing as being an Oreo. You're black. You're always gonna be black. People are going to treat you as black- no matter how "Oreo"-Esque you are and maybe once you accept that you can open the door to the spectrum of "Blackness" whatever you consider that. Usually being an Oreo means you don't like "urban" things and are around white people- you're not a unicorn. there are a ton of black people in tune with their "blackness" who fit that bill. Not "feeling" Black is a choice you are making. I suggest you start with figuring out why you've chosen to disconnect.

[@unicornpuppy715]

Well cause I'm young I'm 13 so yeah I'm just tired of being called hey lil whitewashed or hey Oreo or hey white girl It just at times get very tiring

[@teegraciela]

+Unicorn Puppy ohhhh *hugs you* that explains it! DON'T LET ANYONE DENY YOUR BLACKNESS! Don't be convinced that Blackness looks one way. It doesn't!!!! "They" what you to believe that Blackness is poverty, ignorance, hip hop and violence- IT'S NOT! I was poor, lived in a predominantly Black area and was called an Oreo because I got good grades, had strict parents, a few white friends and a squeaky voice. People are dumb. I'm Black. Blackity Black Black and I love it! Find Black bloggers who fit your interests. I'm certain they exist! Try to look up some Black authors. Read some literature outside of school. I know in school and in media you'll only see one image of Blackness. I promise you there is more! It's a spectrum and whoever you are, whatever your interests as long as you connect with the history of your people and honor that history- you WILL be connected to it. And more importantly you will bring your own unique addition to the image of "What Is Black".

Alright so I understand and everything but if you're so big on being surrounded by black people and all that good stuff, why move to a country full of the complete opposite race?
